PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus in which the dusting is uniformly performed over the entire surface of a dusting opening.SOLUTION: A dusting method is provided for dusting of powder to a dusting object positioned downward. A hollow rotating body 15 with a communication port 29 for bringing an inner space 31 into communication with an outer space 33 is rotatably provided in a hopper 5 with a dusting opening 11 in the lower side. The powder 13 in the inner space 31 and outer space 33 is transferred to the dusting opening 11 by the rotation of the hollow rotating body 15. The dusting of the powder 13 in the inner space 31 and outer space 33 is made from the dusting opening 11 to a lower direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】散粉口の全面に亘って散粉を均等に行う方法及び装置を提供する。【解決手段】下方に位置する被散粉体に対して粉体を散粉する散粉方法であって、下側に散粉口11を備えたホッパー5内に、内部空間31と外部空間33とを連通した連通口29を備えた中空回転体15を回転自在に備え、前記中空回転体15の回転によって前記内部空間31及び前記外部空間33内の粉体13を前記散粉口11へ移送し、前記内部空間31及び外部空間33内の粉体13を前記散粉口11から下方向へ散粉する。【選択図】図3
